Gears of War: Judgement

Epic Games Writers Talk Storytelling in Gears of War: Judgement

Gears of War: Judgement is due out next month, telling a brand new story set in the Gears of War universe. Creating this story was no easy feat, and it makes sense if you think about it.

The core storyline in Gears of War ended with Gears of War 3, wrapping up the tales of Marcus Fenix and his compatriot Dominic Santiago. With Judgement, however, Epic Games and People Can Fly had the task of creating a brand new story within the Gears universe that is just as engaging as previous entries in the franchise while still remaining wholly new and creative. To do this, the team focused less on cinematic cut-scenes and more on expanding the story within the levels themselves.

The video below, released by The Creators Project, takes a look at storytelling in Gears of War: Judgement and brings in writers Rob Auten and Tom Bissell to go behind the scenes.
